Hey Ohlala, thanks alot. Previous amps I used with the Hales Rev. 3s include: Belles Model 200, B&K ST-140, & B&K Sonata M200 monoblocks. I was really impressed with the sound of the ST-140, but it was lacking power to really drive the big Hales speakers. The McCormack DNA 1 betters them all in my system. Definately the best amp that I've owned. I'm sure the McCormack DNA .05 would work well with your Rev 2s. The DNA 1 is rated 300wpc into the 4 ohm Hales speakers. This might be too much power for the Rev 2s, I'm not sure? Good Luck!
McCormack DNA 1 & Hales Revelation 3...Good Match?
I have a pair of Hales Revelation 3 loudspeakers, and am considering a McCormack DNA 1 to power these speakers in conjunction with my Audio Research LS1 preamp. I have three questions:
Has anyone here used the DNA 1 with Hales Rev 3s?
If so, did you consider them a "good match" for one another?
Lastly, do you think the ARC LS1 fits into the mix, or should I go with a passive preamp as others on this forum have suggested?
Now using Discovery Essence ics, Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cable, and LAT AC2MkII power cables. Room is 24'x18'x9'. Any input/suggestions/questions would be appreciated. I'm searching for really good sound on a workingman's budget, thanks!
